Well, today is our national holiday, kind of like USA's 4th of july, only a month and a half earlier, less fireworks and more childrens parades.
We celebrated is as we normally do, got up kind of early, put on our bunads (national costumes, to see mine, watch a few posts earlier), and went down to the start of the childrens parade. As my mother works at a kinder garden, we all joined in there. After the parade was done, my niece was kind of worn out. So we carried her up to the sporting arena, where they were selling cake, coffee, hotdogs and icecream. They all had some, and so did I. After we were bored with walking in line everywhere, we went home. My mum fixed dinner, we had oven baked salmon with spices, spring onions and lime, very tasty indeed. The weather was wonderful all day long, and still is. Sun shining from a clear blue sky is rare here on may 17. We normally have a shower of snow!!!
Well, as nice as it was, I'm kind of glad it's done for now. One more year until i have to dress up and iron my flag again hehe.
Another celebration we have here this weekend, is that yesterday Norway won Eurovision Song Contest. It was the first time in 14 years, so it was about time. I've shown the youtube clip of the song earlier too, when they did the national finals. I had high hopes for Fairytale, but I didn't honestly think it would slam dunk the victory like it did!!! Hooray for Alexander Rybak and his Titten Tei looks hehe
